Intentional and Unintentional Memory in Young Children: Remembering vs. Playing.

Newman, Lawrence S.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v50 n2 p243-58 Oct 1990

In a study of recall in gamelike and lessonlike contexts, 4- and 5-year-old children were asked to remember or to play with a set of 16 pictures or toys in a naturalistic or laboratory setting. The children's behavior and language were measured during two-minute study phases, after which recall was assessed. (BC)
